All I can think of watching this is this here!

Buy an old one because they are dirt cheap on craigslist.

I rented some sit down yamaha wave runners a few weeks ago, first time and it was really fun. I notice the stand up ones are alot smaller, are they as fast?

[D.Adams]

I use to ride had a 96 650 Kawasaki and a 650 Kawasaki x2 amazing skee's. Had the pump bored out impeller - motor built - pipe and a ride plate on my stand up. My x2 was mostly stock just impeller and a 1" chop off the back.

That video posted is in my home town that's a fun event to go to those guys get fucking crazy.

Need any help pm me I know a lot about stand ups and know people to get hard to find parts.

[Chrischeezer]

[future]

But why? Jut sit like normal people lol

[Chrischeezer]

i might take you up on that. i just had to rebuild the starter on mine the contact points werent touching. now when i fire it up its like its in WOT without touching any thing. sat for over a year so im guessing a carb clean out and a fresh tank of gas is in need

that things clean, mine still has all the foam pads on the front and the sides. taking those off when i get new hydro turf. any recommendations for good turf at a decent price?

[D.Adams]

k.......................

[D.Adams]

Just rebuild it the kits are cheep through any local store i even thing autozona sells the makuni kits.

There are tille mods you can do to get more out. You can take the water box out gain a little more power but you run the risk of water getting in the motor on a tip over. I would do it once you became a better rider. Also look into getting a rite plate and a intake grate maybe a skat trak impeller that will also greatly help If your a big guy that 330 is going to have trouble hauling you around.


Here is a forum that im a member of. Lots of good people and willing to help you on most anything shit load of info to.

X-H2O.com

I hope this helps and remember keep a fire extinguisher on you at all times its a $50 ticket you dont need to pay.

I think I probably spend an equal number of hours fixing mine as I do riding it lol It's worth it though!

[iveexcaped3]

lol sounds like my dirtbike..... well it looks like a brand new ebox so i dont think that will be an issue, over the winter might just pull it out and rebuild the whole thing to learn more and have a fresh motor

[S14DB]

It's all about the SuperJet!

Isn't that the same for 240's haha

My parents just got a lake home so now I have been seriously considering purchasing one to fix up this winter since I'll will have a place to keep it. I like the sit downs but they in no way look as fun as the stand ups that you can do some crazy shit with.

Yeah but you can't complain about a js300 for less than $200

Their a lot of fun best low cost(so far) thing I've bought in a while

[Nissansota240]

For those of you that have one, what is a good recommendation on a stand up jet ski to purchase?

They are all decent for a newb. It's more how much work do you want to put into it. I like Yamaha but there is a lot of kawi fans out there too.

Buy some wetsuit shorts.

That or just make sure your shorts are tied tight lol

[OutlawLui]

Can still go up your shorts. Need the thickness to not get injured.

[iveexcaped3]

i was talking about the first timers common mistake and jetting their shorts off..... always funny when anyone does it lol

I have been riding stand up's for over 16 years and i do it every once and a while. sometimes i forget to re tie my shorts after a good fall. haven’t really rode in the last 3 years but that’s due to not owning one.









If i was to get one i would buy a SuperJet they just ride so much better than a kawisaki. We have some local companies that stuff 1200cc engines in these things and they scream. Shit just getting a the conversion plate to put a 650 engine into a js300 hull would be bad ass. But you can only push your pump to a certain level before it wont make you go any faster.

[iveexcaped3]

someone recommended swapping to a bn/sbn38 carb is it better or whats the difference?
